    Quick stretch facilitates contraction of the muscle by stimulating muscle spindles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Quick stretch refers to a rapid and forceful lengthening of a muscle. This action stimulates the muscle spindles, which are sensory receptors located within the muscle. The muscle spindles detect changes in muscle length and send signals to the spinal cord, which in turn activates the motor neurons to contract the muscle. Therefore, quick stretch can facilitate the contraction of the muscle by enhancing the activation of the muscle spindles and the subsequent motor response.

    Match the following definition: Pertaining to nerves and muscles

    • Proprioceptive

    • Facilitation

    • Neuromuscular

    Correct Answer
    A. Neuromuscular
    Explanation
    Neuromuscular refers to something that is related to both nerves and muscles. It is a term used to describe the connection and interaction between the nervous system and the muscular system. This can include the transmission of signals from the nerves to the muscles, as well as the coordination and control of muscle movement by the nervous system.

  • 4. 

    Match the following definition: Awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects in relation to the body.

    • Neuromuscular

    • Proprioception

    • Facilitation

    • PNF

    Correct Answer
    A. Proprioception
    Explanation
    Proprioception refers to the awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium, as well as the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects in relation to the body. It involves the sensory feedback from muscles, tendons, and joints that allows individuals to have a sense of their body position and movement without relying on visual cues. Proprioception plays a crucial role in motor control and coordination, allowing individuals to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. It is an essential component of activities such as balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.

    Match the following definition: Hastening of an action or process; especially the addition of the energy of a nerve impulse to that of other impulses activated at the same time.

    • PNF

    • Facilitation

    • Neuromuscular

    • Proprioceptive

    Correct Answer
    A. Facilitation
    Explanation
    Facilitation refers to the hastening of an action or process, particularly the addition of the energy of a nerve impulse to that of other impulses activated simultaneously. It is a term commonly used in the field of neuroscience to describe the enhancement of neural activity. In this context, facilitation implies the amplification or reinforcement of nerve impulses, leading to increased efficiency or effectiveness in the transmission of signals within the nervous system.

    Overflow or activation of synergistic muscles:

    • Irradiation

    • Quick stretch

    • Traction

    • Timing

    Correct Answer
    A. Irradiation
    Explanation
    Irradiation refers to the phenomenon of the overflow or activation of synergistic muscles during a movement. When a muscle is contracted forcefully, the surrounding muscles may also be activated to assist in the movement. This is known as irradiation. It allows for the recruitment of additional muscle fibers, leading to increased strength and stability during the movement.

    Which of the following is (are) true regarding PNF manual contact?

    • Position yourself so that you move in the same direction you want pt to move (diagonal plane)

    • Use of verbal cues

    • Have pt look away from their body part

    • Resistance should be no greater than the resistance that allows full ROM.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Position yourself so that you move in the same direction you want pt to move (diagonal plane)
    A. Use of verbal cues
    A. Resistance should be no greater than the resistance that allows full ROM.
    Explanation
    PNF manual contact involves positioning oneself in the same direction as the desired movement, using verbal cues to guide the patient, and applying resistance that allows for full range of motion. Having the patient look away from their body part is not mentioned as a true statement regarding PNF manual contact.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following is the correct definition?  Facilitates co-contraction (activation of agonist and antagonist) which is good for stability and pushing movement.

    • Traction (manual distraction)

    • Quick stretch

    • Approximation (manual compression)

    • Irradiation

    Correct Answer
    A. Approximation (manual compression)
    Explanation
    Approximation (manual compression) refers to the technique of applying manual pressure or compression to a joint or body part. This technique helps to stabilize the joint and facilitate co-contraction, which is the simultaneous activation of both the agonist and antagonist muscles. This co-contraction is beneficial for stability and pushing movements, as it helps to maintain joint integrity and generate force.

    Which of the following is NOT true concerning PNF patterns?

    • PNF patterns are more concerned with mass body movements as opposed to specific muscle actions

    • PNF can restore or enhance postural responses of normal patterns of motion

    • PNF patterns are more concerned with specific muscle action as opposed to mass body movements.

    • PNF uses proprioceptive input to improve (facilitate) neuromuscular function during human movement.

    Correct Answer
    A. PNF patterns are more concerned with specific muscle action as opposed to mass body movements.
    Explanation
    PNF patterns are more concerned with mass body movements as opposed to specific muscle actions. PNF techniques focus on integrating and coordinating multiple muscle groups to perform functional movements, rather than isolating specific muscles. By engaging larger muscle groups, PNF can restore or enhance postural responses and improve overall neuromuscular function. Additionally, PNF utilizes proprioceptive input, such as sensory feedback from muscles and joints, to facilitate neuromuscular function during human movement.

    Which of the following is (are) true regarding PNF manual contact?

    • Motor responses influenced by stimulation of skin and other receptors

    • Use of cylindrical grip

    • Make sure contact is on the side of the body or body part you are facilitating

    • Use of lumbrical grip

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Motor responses influenced by stimulation of skin and other receptors
    A. Make sure contact is on the side of the body or body part you are facilitating
    A. Use of lumbrical grip
    Explanation
    PNF manual contact involves stimulating motor responses by stimulating the skin and other receptors. This means that the therapist uses touch and pressure on the skin to elicit specific motor responses from the patient. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the contact is on the side of the body or body part that is being facilitated. This helps to provide the appropriate sensory input and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. Lastly, the use of a lumbrical grip, which involves using the fingers in a hook-like manner, is commonly used in PNF manual contact to provide controlled and precise movements.
